You discount Diogenes because he forces you to realize you are a philosophical fraud and hypocrite.

No i discount cause he's boring. Whoa minimalism, COOL!

There are plenty of reasonable criticisms you could make of Diogenes, but "too boring" isn't one of them. Read Penguin's collection of anecdotes of the Cynics.

he got convicted for counterfeit and money laundering, and as consequence got disowned by his family and exiled from his land. since greed and mundane possessions fucked up his life, he decided the way to go was clear

He's like a pet retard everyone kept around and pretended to like because they couldn't accept they had a shitty society that ruined him. Either way he's a moron w babby tier trolling.

He's based, don't listen to the fags that dislike him because reddit likes him now, even if reddit is very cringe about him; but Socrates embodied his philosophy further, and undoubtedly was a great figure, and was admired by Diogenes.

Why were German philosophers so much more introverted and less physically active? Socrates literally went around btfo'ing everyone, Plato had his whole school to teach people regularly, Diogenes bit people as we know... so why?

Are you retarded? There are some examples from Cynic school after him. And from western point of view there is a lot of eremits from christianity or you can look for some asian monks. Maybe try read something

I could be wrong but maybe the ancient times were just more free, maybe people were more self governed and didn't fear social backlash the same as we do now/in the time of those German philosophers. The image I get of ancient societies is action whereas today it's more like people tend to just stand around and argue trying not to make a big scene or stand out.
